In my garage I found a complete set of cutting tools. I think they are about forty years old. A little rust but look okay. I decided instead of buying some new tools I might try shapening these first. I do have a grinder also from same era. I was looking for a video on how to do this in the IAP library but unable to locate any info. Any suggestions where I might look.

Since they are old tools they will not be HSS so you will need to be careful not to over heat them. You do not need a slow speed grinder. Many people use regular grinders. Just don't over heat. Grind a little and then dip in water to cool. If you blue the tip then you are damaging the steel.
